New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan said Thursday that one of the biggest problems facing the Roman Catholic Church is the number of people who identify as former Catholics, including many who left because of the 'sinful' behavior of clergy and other Church members.

Pastor Kong Hee's wife Sun Ho's website has been hacked.  Now, it's unclear who is responsible for hacking her website, but it could have something to do with previous allegations against Pastor Kong Hee. 

According to ChristianPost.com, the cyber assailant also made reference to an alleged "hidden agenda," purportedly a reference to the criminal case in which prosecutors have alleged that more than 50 million Singaporean dollars meant for a building fund were instead used by City Harvest Church leaders to boost Sun's pop music career, which was the center of the megachurch's evangelical Crossover Project.  

In the meantime, we'll keep Pastor Hee and his wife, Sun Ho in our prayers and hope they get all their problems straightened out.

The story of Winnie Mandela's life with Nelson Mandela should be a decent movie for Christians to see.  As you know, it can be very hard to pick a decent movie these days.  So, when we see a life story such as this one, we ought to be excited to see it.

According to The Hollywood Reporter.com, in Winnie Mandela, Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson takes on the title role, portraying the iconic activist from the time she was 19 to 70 years old. Terrence Howard plays Nelson Mandela.

We think Jennifer Hudson will play her role well, including Terrence Howard playing Nelson Mandela.

Now we know a lot of modern day Christians do not believe in strict dress code in the church these days.  However, this pastor is very accurate and we really wish many pastors were holy like him.  The reason why we agree with Pastor Michael Canty about this bride wearing this wedding dress, is simply because in 1 Peter 1:16, we were told to be holy and according to I John 2:15, saints of God are not to look like the world. 

According to Zimbasi.com, after hearing how the bride was crying her eyes out in the back, a minister who was a guest at the wedding offered to perform the ceremony. When the minister asked the pastor for permission to perform the ceremony, the pastor told him ‘no’ and expressed to him how his request was disrespectful.    

We need more pastors like Pastor Michael Canty. Many preachers ought to stop this old cliche, 'it doesn't matter about the outside, but it's what's in the heart'.  If you are saved and cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ you ought to appear very different from the world as well as act different.  It's time to go back to strict holiness, saints of God.

Many of you may think Aaron and Melissa Klein should have kept their bakery open, regardless of being allegedly harassed by gay activists.  However, it's not easy when you do not have the judicial system working on your behalf as a Christian.  These days, we are no longer just oppressed by white supremacists, but mostly by the gay community of all races, allegedly, think about it.     

Why are we allegedly oppressed by mostly the gay community these days?   Simply because the Word of God lets us know, 'we wrestle not against flesh in blood' in Ephesians 6:12 and it has always been this way, even during the Jim Crow movement. 

According toBlackChristianNews.com, on the Sweet Cakes by Melissa Facebook page, the couple said they would continue to operate the business out of their home. It is not immediately clear what effect that will have on the complaint pending against them.  

We are so glad Aaron and Melissa will move forward with their business out of their home, which is what God expects them to do, not to quit. God is so proud of them not giving in to satisfy the world, but they both endured severe persecution for Jesus Christ. In the meantime, we will keep them in our prayers.

Jason Roberson allegedly messed with this 23 year-old woman when she was just 15 years old.  Now many of you would probably blame her and ask, 'why doesn't she forgive?'   This has nothing to do with forgiveness, if you had to carry this all your life and then, probably think about all the other young teens under this this guy's authority.  However, it cannot be understand that she continued to have an inappropriate relationship with this man for 7 years afterwards, no excuse.  

According to kdvr.com, the victim is a 23-year-old who lives in Boulder. She told investigators that she and Roberson had an inappropriate relationship that began when she was 15 years old. She said it continued for seven years.  

We pray this youth pastor has repented for what he has done in the past, only if he's guilty of the accusation.  However, when we look at both sides of this case, when someone is accused of molestation, there should be no contact with the alleged abuser  This case against Jason Roberson maybe in favor of the defendant, because of the relationship that continued for several years.

The legendary pastor and founder of Crystal Cathedral has been diagnosed with a deadly cancer that could shorten his life.  No matter the previous scandal about the alleged family dispute and the financial problems the church has dealt with, it's time to pray for this man of God.  Yes, he maybe elderly, but it's not God's will he die of cancer and God can heal him.  

According to KTLA.com, in follow-up exams, an oncologist advised Schuller that although the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes, “he is a good candidate for chemotherapy and radiation treatment that could extend his life for another two years,” according to an online update via the Hope Center of Christ, the church headed by Schuller Coleman.  

There is no sickness God can't cure.  God can turn the diagnosis around and Dr. Schuller can live until God gets ready for him to go to heaven.  So, pray with us and let's have faith for immediate healing, in Jesus name.

We do not know why many African Americans have such pride for the mother land when many Africans hate Jesus Christ.   We yet hear of some African Americans wanting to connect with their roots in Africa as though that is where the power is.  However, if there are haters against followers of Jesus Christ and expecially for our Savior, then maybe God does not want African Americans making any connection there.

According to ChristianPost.com, Emmanuel Sunday, was caught up in the violence when gunmen also stopped him driving by on his motorbike and demanded to know if he was a Christian.

In the meantime, we will pray for our African brothers and sisters in Christ, because we know they are being terribly harassed by Islamist extremists.  Furthermore, we as Christians must not forget about them and let us stand together to pray against these demonic warfare, because as you know, we are also dealing with rebellion against Christianity here in America and it's been very difficult for us too.

It's a shame after this Oregon bakery took a stand for Jesus Christ they have to close their business.   After they refused to make wedding cakes for gay couples, many homosexuals were angry and obviously, they had no choice but to choose peace.  However, we blame many Christians whom are not taking seats as politicians, so we can have more support for religious freedom.

According to KOIN.com  , Since 2007, Oregonians have filed 11 complaints of unlawful discrimination in public places under the 2007 equality law. BOLI found no substantial evidence in five of those complaints but parties negotiated settlements in three other cases, including one this past week where a bar was fined $400K for keeping transgenders away.

Let us ask you one question, how come we didn't hear of any complaints when President George Bush was in office?   You see, a lot of these gays are only having so much power because there are hardly any Christians in the seat of government to rule this country based on biblical principles.

Donnie McClurkin Talks to CBN News About Being Uninvited from MLK Concert

We never knew Pastor Ed Young had it in him to have a deliverance ministry.  Lately he is forewarning his congregation about hell.   Usually, we recall him allegedly revealing a prop on stage to help explain his modern age sermons.  However, Pastor Ed Young Jr. is revealing the reality of hell and we know God is very pleased with him preaching the truth and putting the sex talk behind.

According to BlackChristianNews.com, let's look at what we can learn from hell, "the reality of hell," the pastor told the congregation. The Bible says hell is a place, he said, adding it was not originally designed for humans. "Hell was designed for the devil and the demons."

It would be very interesting to hear Pastor Ed Young preach about hell.

We think it was very important for Bishop T. D. Jakes to include Oprah's lifeclass and discuss fatherless households.  That's one of the old issues that a lot of black pastors have excluded from their sermons, especially since many black churches are multicultural these days.   However, we know it is a possibility the issues of fatherless households is irrelevant among the elite among most clergy members of mega ministries.  

According to ChristianPost.com, Oprah invited Jakes back to her lifeclass to talk about the millions of sons and daughters who are growing up without a father in their life, and to share the steps families can take to heal old wounds and restore their fractured relationships. There were many "aha! moments" for the queen of television who surmised that women are incapable of fulfilling the role of a father, regardless of how hard they try or how much they believe that they can.  

Fatherless households is something that may never end unless all fathers and mothers come together and yield the expectations of Jesus Christ. Therefore, we sincerely hope this segment of Bishop Jakes MegaFest will help many fathers return to their responsibilities.

Your eyes are not fooling you, this is definitely Tyler Perry laying hands on Bishop T. D.

D. Jakes. 

God is moving in a mighty way.  Could you imagine Flip Wilson laying hands on a televangelist back in the day?  Probably not, because this is the age when God is using certain people to reveal his power.  Tyler Perry laid hands on Bishop T. D. Jakes and prayed for him at the Potter's House.  

Could we see Tyler Perry preaching, eventually?  Possibly, it's time for him to tell his Madea character goodbye and start his ministry.
